Education in Tehama County: Whittenberg Country School invites parents to learn more

Families with students in grades 1-7 for the 2013-14 school year are invited to learn more about Whittenberg Country School, Tehama County's only non-religious private school, which uses the unique School of Mastery approach and which provides a rich and broad curriculum, including daily art, science, PE, and Spanish.

WCS also has regular field days and field trips, including a multi-day trip each summer; this summer, we're going to the Monterey area, where we'll visit the Monterey Bay Aquarium, go whale watching, tour history museums, and more.

The school will be holding its first annual Pumpkinhead Family Bike Ride, which Whittenberg Country School and the Sacramento River Discovery Center will be putting on in the fall. The all-ages bike ride is set for Oct. 12, 2013, and will feature routes of various lengths, of about four, eight, and twelve miles.
